Ghostdance (1985 - 1992)
"There wasn't a great deal of pre-planning involved in forming Ghostdance. I knew Anne Marie from the Skeletal Family supporting us on tour - the pair of us left our bands at the same time, she contacted me and I thought, great, that will stop some of the Sisters comparisons if I work with a female singer."

After Ghostdance (1992 - 1995)
From an interview with Gary Marx by Christophe Labussière in premonition Magazine ( http://www.premonition.fr/premod.php3?actuid=216003&ta=5 ) "I worked with Craig at the beginning of 1993 on a group of songs for an un-titled project (which at one point included Julianne Regan from all About Eve as well)."
1995 (and Nowhere)
From an interview with Gary Marx by Christophe Labussière in premonition Magazine ( http://www.premonition.fr/premod.php3?actuid=216003&ta=5 )
"It was then the Summer of 1995 when I met up with Andrew after a nine year gap. I met a member of Andrew's Merciful Release team at a gig, we got talking and I voiced my frustration that Andrew was largely inactive and suggested I might write some songs for him not thinkint it would go any further. The 'go-between' may have coloured my comments because when Andrew contacted me a few days later, he did seem curious about whether I wanted to re-join the band and play live -I did not. I told him I was only interested in writing and that I didn't even want to go in the studio to record the material, as I knew how slow he was in the studio and how tortuous the process always became. We met in Leeds (even went back to Village Place for old time's sake) and Andrew was in agreement that we should give it a try. Despite my desire to work face to face on the new material, as usual Andrew wanted to impose certain working conditions and asked me to prepare backing tracks for him, post them to him in Germany and then leave him to write words to them (pretty much the process on "First and Last and Always" which had taken months). I didn't want to give him the chance to sit on the tunes, believing we could get them done quicker (and with better results)if I was in the room with him - he wouldn't budge. The result was I wrote 11 tracks in a couple of weeks, gave them to Andrew, at which point the process was stalled - it is still on hold. I may well choose to finish the tracks myself and make them available."
